Long wait times in teambuilder

I am not sure what changed with this season, but wait times for both Jungle and Support in Teambuilder have been horrible. 20+ minutes in some cases to find just one person for those roles.

Are people just not playing these roles anymore? Or did people stop using the team builder?

I know I stopped using it because of the wait.

It's both (less people enjoy the jungle and more people stop playing team builder).

The entire idea of Team Builder is flawed. In a perfect set up about 20% of the players would want to play each role. In practice the number of support and jungle players are really low. This is the same issue World of Warcraft had with their Dungeon Finder. The difference is in WoW you could go do other things while waiting. With Team Builder either you are just sitting/waiting for it to pop while you are reading/watching something or you are playing another game on the side. Until there is a reason for someone to play the less enjoyable roles it will fall apart more and more. I love playing support (and until season 5 I enjoyed jungling). But why go to Team Builder with I can get my role about 95% of the time in blind pick/normal-draft/ranked-draft?
